Determined Trump vs. spineless Republicans.

Now that Republicans led by Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell have failed three times to repeal Obamacare, the biggest mistake they could make is to assume that President Trump will just drop the subject.

Not up to the job.

Toughness is not an adjective that one would use to describe either of Paul Ryan or Mitch McConnell. Yet with respect to leadership in the Congress, toughness has never been more urgently called for.

Epic fail.

In the real world, if you fumble on the order of magnitude that McConnell just did, you lose your job.
